Patriots Pregame Thread Week 13 MNF: Giants @ Pats

[Zuma]

Pretty much zero impact with Dippre probably not playing...but he needs to be available and productive if he wants to play in the NFL. It's his 1st year I get it... but he NEEDS to show the coaches he can play...or can't before the end of the season IMO.

I'm a believer that JWinston was a bigger threat than Dart. Winston is always a threat to sling it for 300yds even in a losing effort. Dart IS a real talent but is still a Rookie and apt to make rookie mistakes

I expect a close game at the half a d we slowly pull away as the game winds down. That's what SHOULD happen. But we all know that it doesn't always happen the way it should. Being at home is a big advantage. I'd be more wary if it had been in NJ.

Limit the TOs, Limit the penalties and play solid D and it should be a comfortable game to watch (I hope)

If NE can’t run against the 32nd ranked run defense of the Giants they’ve got major issues.

They are not built to exploit bad run defenses.

Ravens alternates should be their original uniforms in 1996.

Wrong thread.

It sure leave a bad taste in your mouth if they go into the bye on a loss.

True Dat. But even so, .....

Giants' Dexter Lawrence: DNP again Thursday (Rotowire 12 hrs ago)
Lawrence (elbow) did not participate in Thursday's estimated practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Lawrence has now missed consecutive practices nursing an elbow injury and will need to practice Friday for a chance to suit up for Monday night's game against the Patriots. The starting nose tackle is an integral part of the Giants' defense, and D.J. Davidson will have to step up big time if Lawrence can't go.

• Let's see today. Maybe we can get some runs up the middle if they missing their NT.

More in depth thoughts.

The Giants currently lack offensive talent. Robinson is a good player, but no one else is all that great. They have okay depth peices but a lack of headliners. That being the case, their offense is still pretty good. But their defense is trash. Burns is a good pass rusher and will need to be keyed on. Lawrence at DT is very good. Outside of those 2? IDK.

Thread summary: Sure we're 10-2 but we're not 10-2 enough.

At least we're not playing ours and the Giants backups who beat us good in the preseason. Lol

Pats are wearing their red throwbacks for MNF.

Dart marched right down the field, won't happen Monday.

I think it'll be mostly Barmore, Durden & Farmer - it'll be interesting to see him play more.
I hope Tonga can play, but not worth lingering injury the whole last 1/4 and playoffs.

Elliss should be fully back now, and with Landry struggling and limited, might get to see Swinson.

Pretty light at Safety, but I expect more Pettus - who could be the Peppers-like enforcer.

 

[Mack Herron]

Not a great sign if Williams and now Tonga are both out and Landry dealing with a knee injury.

If Dexter Lawrence doesn't play, there might be a lot of folks in New England asleep by 11.

Tonga and Landry were both at practice. Weird.

So, Lawrence was still not practicing….. could mean he doesn’t play. Which would be nice.
